Topic

Updated Apache httpd packages that correct security issues are now available for Red Hat Application Stack v1

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Description

The Apache HTTP Server is a popular Web server.

A flaw was found in the mod_imagemap module. On sites where mod_imagemap was enabled and an imagemap file was publicly available, a cross-site scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-5000)

A flaw was found in the mod_status module. On sites where mod_status was enabled and the status pages were publicly accessible, a cross-site scripting attack was possible. (CVE-2007-6388)

A flaw was found in the mod_proxy_ftp module. On sites where mod_proxy_ftp was enabled and a forward proxy was configured, a cross-site scripting attack was possible against browsers which do not correctly derive the response character set following the rules in RFC 2616. (CVE-2008-0005)

Users of httpd should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. Users should restart httpd after installing this update.
